Trial summary

This study aims to determine how maternal Fe status influences placental and neonatal Fe status in pregnant adolescents and to assess the impact of the Fe endowment of birth on functional outcomes as assessed by auditory brainstem responses within 48 h of delivery in neonates born to these adolescents.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 day to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Pregnant adolescents in Rochester, NY.

Who may be able to join

  • Adolescents (ages 11-18 y) and their newborns will be eligible to participate if the adolescent is carrying a singleton pregnancy, does not have any preexisting medical complications (such as HIV-infection, eating disorders, hemoglobinopathies, malabsorption diseases, steroid use, substance abuse history, or taking medications known to influence iron homeostasis).

Who cannot join

  • Individuals with pregnancy induced hypertension or elevated diastolic blood pressure (>110) will not be eligible to participate in the study. In addition, adolescents who have been previously treated for lead exposure, or those that have been identified as having elevated blood lead concentrations during childhood, will be excluded from the study.
  • Data from infants that experience perinatal asphyxia, pathologic neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, respiratory disease, antibiotic therapy (aminoglycosides), CNS infection, sepsis, congenital or middle or external ear lesions, craniofacial anomalies, chromosomal disorders, TORCH (toxoplasmosis, other infections, rubella, cytomegalovirus infection and herpes simplex infection) or those that were clinically unstable with the first 48 h post-delivery will be excluded from ABR studies. Infants born to mothers with positive drug abuse screens at delivery will also be excluded from further study (these screens are automatically run among this age group). Infants that are identified with hearing deficits at birth using the OAE screening will be excluded from the ABR measures.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) in Infant

    Measured: within 24-48 h of birth

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Maternal Fe and micronutrient status (folate, B12, Fe, copper and zinc, hemoglobin, hematocrit,transferrin receptor, hepcidin, erythropoietin, ferritin, erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin/heme ratios and c-reactive protein)

    Measured: Delivery

  2. Neonatal Fe and micronutrient status

    Measured: Delivery

  3. Placental Fe/copper/zinc content and expression of key iron transporters.

    Measured: Delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia, run by Cornell University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) in Infant (time frame: within 24-48 h of birth). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01019902, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2014.
